MY REVIEW

I love this book. I LOVE the format - a book written in tweets is just so fun. I found the it funny and touching and entertaining and inspiring all at once. If you are into social media than you will love this book. Actually, even if you have never tweeted in your life and think Twitter is ridiculous you will STILL love this book because the story itself is great. Addition by Adoption is very easy to read and doesn't take much time to read. It is just an all around great book and I am happy to recommend it!
